This may be a mechanical problem- perhaps the belt which pulls the printhead back and forth is slipping a cog tooth in the drive mechanism. Check this belt for proper tension, and that the cogs are in good condition.

There is also a home sensor located at the left-hand side of the printhead movement area which sets the home position of the head, and from this, the start of printing is determined. If this home position sensor is defective, this will cause problems. One certain Epsons, this sensor was a switch, and this would become erratic.

These are possibilities to check...

SOURCE: printer will not print anything. Ink levels are

If it has been longer than 3 or 4 weeks since anything last printed, the problem may be clogged print heads. Run thru several cleaning cycles and see if anything begins to appear on the paper. If not, changing the ink cartridges may solve the problem. If it's been quite a long time since last printing, you may need new (and expensive) printheads. If that's the case, replacing the printer would be more cost effective. Sorry for the bad news.

SOURCE: WE ACCIDENTALLY SENT TWO FORMS TO PRINT FROM

Microsoft has the help you need for this issue and I wont try to give you long and possibly misleading information on here.
It is a common problem but the answer is here

You need to refer to method "D" about half way down the page
Once you clear the print job check you dont have any extra printers installed as quite often happens in these situations. If you have then delete your extra printer installations.

It keeps saying that the scanner is locked, and I am unable to print anything. The connection with the computer is fine, but it quit in the middle of a print, and won't print since.

If you follow the link below you'll be able to download the manual for this multifunction unit. The location of the scanner lock switch is given in the "unpacking your multi-function printer" section.

Hope this helps.

4F unable to print

I have a similar problem, nothing stuck in the printer. It needs a new print head (costs more than a new printer).

I can only print the 941 form in quickbooks. Nothing else.

Open QuickBooks and go to file at the top left of the screen. Click on it. This will give you a drop down list. Choose "printer set up". This will give you a list of forms. Choose the name of the form you want to be able to print while in QuickBooks and this will take you to an area to choose your default printer. Click the arrow next to the name of the printer you want to use to print your forms and then save and close the window.

Error 30

I have the MFC 465CN - I was receiving two error codes:
Unable To Clean - Error 30
Unable to initialize

To fix, I first cleared the memory by unplugging the printer, then holding down the red stop/exit button, keep it held, power up the printer, and dont let up the button until it finishes the start up.

I then pressed the "ink" button and performed a cleaning, alignment, and quality check. After this, everything worked fine.

DO NOT try to print anything from your computer or have any pending print jobs while doing this - it appears that pending print jobs, or anything in the printers memory was interferring with the initilization and cleaning cycle it performs.

Hope this helps...

Printer message: Unable to Print

5A means that the purge cam stopps abnormally when it is in use. This could be of a broken cam shaft. You have to replace the whole purge unit. This is a service job to do!
